Damaged prop/tail - hit rock

[PTR]

New to outboard motoring - hit rock on river w/Honda 50 HP motor - slightly scrapped and bent one prop blade and clipped of part of "tail" (very bottom of motor). But works fine and turns fine. Only thing is the auto trim goes completely up and down when moving slow but when revving fast goes down all the way but only 3/4 up (is that normal operation?) and should I do something about the motor ? Thanks

But works fine and turns fine.

Any prop with a bent blade does not work fine...and should not be run until fixed ore replaced.

A bent blade will eventually lead to other failures. Do yourself a favor and get it fixed.
